Macro photography is a unique form of photography that involves photographing small objects to make them look life-sized or more significant in the photo. The usual subjects include flowers and small insects, which we don't normally get to see up close with the naked eye.

The class will start when the insects are more active. So be ready to explore and capture breathe-taking macro images.

    Had a really good two hour session with Stephen for the landscape photography event. Really benefited from his huge experience, he's a very good person to lead these kinds of sessions and I came away feeling I had learnt something new. Would happily attend future sessions led by him. Really appreciated how approachable he is and how he took time to get to know the experience and background of the people in attendance.

    Ali was an excellent teacher. I struggle with the technical side of using dslrs, but Ali made everything so much easier to understand with his clear explanations and hands on teaching style. We covered a lot of information and also had chance to practicewhat we learned. I came away feeling much more confident about using my dslr in manual mode now.

    A cascade of lush green ivy gracefully climbs the weathered stone wall of an old English building in Oxford, weaving nature into history. The vibrant leaves soften the aged architecture, creating a timeless harmony between the enduring charm of the past and the quiet elegance of the present.

    Title or Location: Wheatley Oxford
    This photograph was taken in early spring in the gently rolling hills near Wheatley. A lone pale horse grazes peacefully beneath a large, bare-branched tree, still untouched by new leaves. The surrounding trees and fields remain in their quiet transition from winter, bathed in the soft, golden light of the setting sun. The image captures the calm and quiet beauty of nature as it slowly awakens from its winter rest.

    The beauty of nature in spring inspires us to discover new and beautiful places. One such hidden gem is a small pond in a park near Wheatley, looking especially magical at sunset.

    This picture was taken on the Benalmadena Cable Car near Malaga Spain. It was last day of the holiday and we chose this location because it was close attraction to the place where we stayed. Soon we realised that it was one of the most beautiful places we visited during this holiday. But the best it was yet to come. When it got dark the view that revealed itself was just astonishing. It was really magical and the picture presents the glimpse of the landscape that could be seen from the top o

    I've made multiple attempts at this picture trying to make something suitable for a wall art panoramic. My first few chances it did not have enough pixels. So when I was lucky enough to go for work I walked the 3 miles to try it again. I was fortunate to have the sun break through and create two different rainbows and a fantastic scene for all. I sat there for 2 hours hours capturing the same image in different phases of the evening and this is my favorite as it highlights the red, white and

    A family of chipmunks has found my backyard bird feeders to be an easily accessible source of tasty food. They eat relatively small amounts, leaving plenty for the birds.
